Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – the next couple weeks at Kennebunk Beach look pretty grim. There’s no proper surf on the cards for the first week and a half. A few tiny, weak waves pop up now and then, but they’re all rated poor – think ankle‑high windslop with onshore junk. The water’s a touch warmer than usual for the time of year, sitting at 64.4°, but that’s about the only upside.
Come Wednesday July 15th, things get slightly less useless. In the morning we’ll see around 4.3 ft of swell from the S with a short 5‑second period – combined energy is moderate (144). Conditions are glassy so it’ll be smooth, but the waves are mushy and ordinary. Afternoon picks up to 4.6 ft from the SSE, period 7 seconds, with a clean cross‑offshore breeze from the E. Energy jumps to 238, but it’s still just surfable, not good. This is your best shot, but don’t expect much. The rest of the window stays small and messy – nothing worth paddling out for. Hang tight, mate. Forecasts can change, but right now? It’s a big fat blank.

Information about the Kennebunk Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kennebunk Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kennebunk Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kennebunk Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kennebunk Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kennebunk Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
